Hopefully by the time sociopaths are able to cause severe damage, they have experienced some kind of negative consequence that caused them to pause but only for the consequences and not for emotions or feelings. Trusting a sociopath may be the leap you do not want to take. Most of the post caught prison interviews are somewhat like “no one stopped me” or “no one caught me”. I think for each task given that someone will not take there is a long line of people who will. Some groups can choose to sort these people in. “the extent to which a lot of behaviors that people do could be considered sociopathic, and we just don’t understand them that way. >>> Plenty of us do things that we know are bad because the transgressions feel good. It feels good […] because it feels free. […] The consequences — be it internal guilt or getting thrown in jail — happen after. In this moment, I’m going to do this because it feels [expletive] great to just not care. That is what the sociopath experience is almost all the time. One piece of advice I would give to anyone who sees themselves in my description is to find an external philosophy that works for you. I liked karma. It seemed clean. It seemed organized. Find that philosophy for yourself, because you’re not going to get to rely on internal checks and balances.”
